Basically a scam

Basically a scam. Hotels never available and actual offering extremely limited.

Prices falsely advertised as 50 or 30% of when in fact you almost get the same price when booking directly with the hotels.

Interface, App and Webpage terrible. Cannot recommend.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations.

Regarding hotel availability, each hotel independently decides how many rooms (contingents) they make available on our platform. This typically depends on occupancy levels, seasonal demand, and their revenue strategy. As a result, availability can vary and may be more limited at certain times. The HotelCard concept is based on offering discounted rates during periods of lower occupancy, which is why hotels also control both availability and discount levels.

Our prices are based on rates provided by OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) and are subject to dynamic pricing. We regularly monitor our price promise and take action where discrepancies occur. When comparing prices, it is important to ensure all conditions are identical, including travel dates, number of guests, room category, cancellation policy, and included services such as breakfast, as these factors can significantly impact the final price.

We’re also sorry to hear that you found our app and website difficult to use. We continuously work on improving usability and the overall booking experience.

Please feel free to contact our support team directly so we can review your case and help you find suitable alternatives.

Thank you again for your feedback.

I’ve been using Hotelcard for a while…

I’ve been using Hotelcard for a while and overall it has been a positive experience. The discounts on selected hotels can be quite good and the booking process is straightforward. Not every destination has a wide choice, and availability can be limited during peak dates, but when it works, the savings are noticeable. Customer support was helpful when I had a question, though response time could be faster. Overall, a useful option for travelers who visit Switzerland regularly and plan ahead.

Great prices, great hotels, and amazing support!

HotelCard is hands down one of the best deals for travelers in Switzerland. They offer excellent pricing on a wide range of highly rated properties, often with discounts of up to 50% and free cancellation on most bookings.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip last minute due to flight cancellation . Not only did HotelCard allow us to cancel all our bookings without hassle, but they also refunded the cost of the membership card itself. That’s rare and shows they’re a genuinely fair company.

Customer service was easy to reach by phone, and the rep spoke great English and was super helpful. I’ll definitely re-subscribe the next time I visit Switzerland. Highly recommended!

I’m so fed up with HotelCard

I’m so fed up with HotelCard. I subscribed a year ago, hoping I can use it, but whenever I travelled in Switzerland they never had options in the destinations I was looking for. Since I didn’t use it I cancelled my card when I received an email that my subscription is about to be renewed. Still, I keep receiving reminders that I have to pay an annual fee. Every single time I receive an email I send an email to their support that I have cancelled and I get zero response, but they don’t forget to send me reminders plus late payment fees.

This is just another scam you are not able to get rid off.

Holecard AG worst experience one may have. It’s a scam disquised as Swiss business

After my initial bad experience company contacted me and was able to offer acceptable solution. This is what I call customer focus - when the problem arises, you find the solution whcih is acceptable for both sides. Thanks

We're sorry to hear that your experience wasn't what you expected.
We truly believe in transparent communication, which is why we send several reminders about automatic renewals, including a personal email. We always want to work with our members to find a solution, but since you hadn't reached out to us directly, we weren’t aware of your concerns at the time.
The good news is that we've now contacted you personally and offered a solution, which we're happy you've accepted. Do not hesitate to contact us again directly if you have any other concerns. We're here to help.

Great Hotels/Prompt Service …

We have enjoyed the hotels and the discounts afforded to our use of the Hotel Card. We have also been pleased with the prompt service when we needed to change our plans. One time there was a glitch with the app and after emailing Hotel Card we had the matter resolved within an hour. Highly recommend! Thank you!

One step away from being classed as a Scam

Be careful of the policy from Hotelcard. It is one step away from being classed as a scam. They will automatically renew your membership before its actual renewal date and will not let you cancel it if its less than 14 days before.

Dear Mr. Richards

Thank you very much for your message. As you mentioned correctly, HotelCard is a subscription. After the expiration of its validity, the personal membership is automatically extended for the next 12 months unless a cancellation is received in time. The cancellation deadline is 15 days (before the expiry date of the card).

Transparency is very important to us. For this reason we inform our members several times about the automatic renewal of their membership (e.g. in a reminder e-mail which we send out to you 30 days before your HotelCard expires, on our website, in our FAQs etc.)

As far as I could see in our system, we were accommodating in your case. It is important to us that our community is made up of enthusiastic members who enjoy using our service. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. I am sure that together we will find a great solution :)

Hotelcard works 1 out og 10 times

Hotelcard works 1 out og 10 times. Participating hotels are often off place, full, or their rate is cheaper on their own site. No need to pay for this. Furthermore, the link to the reservation systems does not work properly. When you search for location A, you get 10 offers 20-100 km. from there.
